The utility only shows a blank screen. It does this after the lan adapter is ready and has assigned itself an 169.254.y.z class B address

Ok, thnx for clearing up this one. I read on some other forums some posts about static assigment of a 192.168.68.z ip address and connecting to 192.168.68.1 but it wasn't not this tool or F series. Just thought this could also be a work around for my case

Going to set it up once more from scratch. Back to square one !

Grtz,
Ray

ZGW_Search won't run on Win7 64-Bit properly unless it is set to run in XP SP2 Compatibly Mode. I am not sure how it behaves inside a MAC VM. In any event, it is purely informational and not needed for coding. If your LAN Adapter is getting a Class B IP Address, I would try connecting with E-Sys.

I agree with shawn. My Windows PC crashed so i decided to install VM on my Mac and use that to code. I did that this afternoon but the ZGWSEARCH would not work at all. I tried to change a few settings and then said the hell with it and just tried E-Sys. It worked perfectly and was able to code.

The only weird thing i noticed but didnt seem to matter is that the network icon in the Windows OS immediately had the yellow exclamation point. In my old Windows PC that would take about 1 min or so to appear so i just waited a minute before opening E-Sys to give it time to connect.

Thanks for pointing out. Much appreciated I read this and tried it on a Windows 7 32-bit virtual in both parallels and VMware fusion but ZGW_search does not show anything. My guess is it doesn't work in a virtual machine setup. I have waited until my LAN adapter has received the class B and runned E-sys but I am unable to connect by selecting the VIN as this is greyed out and therefor not selectable.

On the ODX Tab, set the ODX Rule Path to "C:\ESysData\Rules"
On the EST Tab, set the Developer-Soft-Token EST Path to "C:\ESysData\est\Code Away.est"

but there's no EDIABAS, nor e-sys net folder when installing the 3.22 I downloaded from the torrent. The 3.18 torrent file contains a .rar which I suppose has all these files, the 3.22 torrent only contains the executable. Am I missing something here?

On a side note, I think I remember someone saying
Copy the contents of the "C:\ESysData\psdzdata\swe" folder into the "C:\ESysData\SWE" folder.
is not needed; having the psdzdata in the Data folder is enough, am I right?

the ediabas file is in the 3.18.4 torrent file... most of us upgraded from 3.18.4 so it is given by the time we install 3.2 we already have the ediabas folder in place

So I took my X3 in for annual service and they did a software update which wiped out all my coding. I checked and most of my caf files are now not readable. Do I just need to download the newest version of all caf files (48.3)? It's been almost a year since I coded my vehicle so I imagine I'm on version 46.3 or so.

48.3 should work with your esys 3.18.4 on your x3 only. 48.3 will not work with f30 due to new security feature in the data file

Does anybody now if the DVD can be coded? So it will work in the European standard not just the U.S. Standard I believe NTSC.
And for the Radio: it only searches numbers which ends with odd number like 92.5. Can itt be coded so it will search for everything.
And How can I change a language so it can be Hungarian. I saw BMW has it in there but my 2012 US spec F13 does not offer only three options, and the Hungarian is not among them.
Thanks for the HELP great community.

For DVD, it is only one region capable at a time, so you can pick your region:

Be warned though. You only have a fixed number of changes (I think only 7) before the setting is locked into the Head Unit and after that, it can no longer be changed again unless the Head Unit firmware is flashed.

For the Radio, you should be able to change

HU_CIC / RADIO_COUNTRY = ECE

Changing to ECE will change Radio Tuner to European (ECE) Frequency Bands as follows:
FM from .2 MHz (200 KHz) to .1 MHz (100 KHz) to allow for picking up the Even FM channel center frequencies.
AM from 10 KHz channel spacing to 9 KHz channel spacing.

Hello Ray,

My 2 cents,.
I don't know fusion nor your machine however if you set the virtual machine from a laptop you usually have 2 physical network interfaces: a LAN card(for wired connection) and a wireless card. When you bind the virtual network card in bridge mode, be sure to select the physical LAN card. Unless you will not necessarily notice anything from the virtual machine itself (I mean virtual LAN card will still be up) and it can still be "not connected". APIPA address is not assigned but set by default by the OS when the card is set to dhcp and it cannot find any server. So it is the default behavior when it is isolated and does not prove it has been able to discuss with anything.

I'm not sure I had that exact error, but I was able to use 47.8 and pull in the new cafd files from 48.3 into the cafd folder. I also just replaced the KIS folder with that from 48.3 after that no problems with anything.
